The CBI had, in November, said it could not take forward the probe into the mining scam. But in March, Siddaramaiah announced an SIT to continue the probe.
The Prime minister speaks to BJP workers in Karnataka by video conference, tells them Congress offers lollipops to caste groups whenever there are elections.
Sreeramulu, who belongs to the Nayaka tribe, is seen as a tough competitor for Siddaramaiah as he is said to have a sizeable support base in the region.
The head priest of the Shiva shrine is a Veerashaiva-Lingayat, and the BJP hopes Modi's visit to the temple before launching his Karnataka campaign will help win the hearts of Lingayats.
Don’t call him to your place the first time. He could be a stalker who now has your address. Or worse. He overstays his welcome, clogs your toilet, picks his nails, and snores.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Soli Sorabjee is a respected legal luminary but his views in the matter are disappointing and I think they show his soft corner for the BJP. How else could he view Governor’s action in two parts? He faults the grant of 15 days time and upholds the invitation to BJP to form Govt in Karnataka? Both of them together make one decision and together they are a give away of Governor Vala’s bias.
When BSY staked claim to form Government he did not have sufficient free floating numbers to tap. There were only two independent MLAs who could be legally/validly wooed. Others belonged to the two coalition parties who had also staked claim. It was clear as a daylight that an invitation to BSY was an open invitation to break the said two parties. Can a Governor indulge in it without inviting any adverse view? Law is not really ass, the practitioners turn it into one, many times. Sorabjee sir, couldn’t respect you for this view, so sorry.
